What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 21. When they grow in properly, they can enhance your chewing ability. However, wisdom teeth often don’t align correctly or may become impacted, leading to potential oral health issues. At Gentle Dental, our skilled team can assess if your wisdom teeth require extraction, and if necessary safely and painlessly extract your wisdom teeth, helping you prevent future dental problems.
Wisdom Tooth Removal Cost Perth

Wisdom Tooth Infection
Wisdom tooth infection, known as pericoronitis, refers to the inflammation of the gum tissue surrounding your wisdom teeth, often occurring when a tooth is partially impacted. Symptoms can vary from mild to severe and may include bad breath, pus, and facial swelling. If left untreated, pericoronitis can lead to serious complications. If you are concerned that you might have a wisdom tooth infection please schedule a consultation with Gentle Dental Centre.
Does Medicare Cover Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover the cost of wisdom teeth removal in Australia, as this procedure is classified as dental surgery. Patients are responsible for out-of-pocket expenses related to their wisdom tooth extraction.
It’s important to remember that Medicare does not cover other dental treatments either, such as fillings or root canals. Additionally, fees for wisdom tooth removal can vary between dentists, so it’s wise to compare prices to find the best option. We also recommend contacting your private health insurer to ensure you are covered and to get an estimate on your out-of-pocket expenses prior to your procedure.
